Black Mirror Season 6 Episodes Ranked
"Black Mirror" Season 6 Is a Mixed Bag: Here's Our Episode Ranking
4
"Loch Henry" follows Blenkin's Davis and Herrod's Pia as two film students who head to the fictional, isolated town of Loch Henry, where Davis is from. They plan to make a sweet little documentary, but when Pia learns about the town's history, she doesn't want to let it go. The once-bustling Loch Henry depended on tourists who wanted to experience its gorgeous corner of nature, but after the crimes of Iain Adair, it all dried up. Adair kidnapped and tortured tourists before eventually dying by suicide. Pia convinced Davis that they should make a documentary about that instead, but the path to the truth uncovers a lot of things they'd rather have never learned.
Ultimately, this episode has less technology-based trauma than most "Black Mirror" episodes, aiming for straight-up horror and despair. But "Loch Henry" is a strong critique of the true crime genre and the ways in which it twists the ethics of those who make and profit off of it. — VE
